I've got some additional comments, not all of them from me.<br />1. From my mother: She's noticed that zippers on pants no longer come all the way to the waist. They're too short! Probably a cost-cutting measure--the clothing manufacturers are buying shorter zippers probably because they're cheaper.<br />2. From a co-worker: She's complained that clothing hanging in the stores is very wrinkled. We think it's because the clerks either aren't trained to properly handle and hang the merchandise, or because there are fewer of them, they don't have time to make the merchandise neat in the racks.<br />3. From both Mom and me: Pants aren't being made for women with curves (AKA hips and butts). They are cut straight up and down. It probably takes less time (and hence less cost) to cut and sew in straight lines. But it means our slacks are too big in the waist and too big in the calves because there's sooooo much leftover fabric.<br />4. From me: The colors and prints this summer have been hideous! I've concluded that clothing manufacturers are using cloth that they bought in years previous but rejected because it wasn't attractive, but now, because they can't afford to buy new cloth, are using up their old, previously unwanted stores to make the clothing in 2009.skippercollectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00879839553080884379noreply@blogger.com
